how to put a password on my T5 server and/or limit the max amount of players that can join?
-
the title pretty much sums up what i need help with. i have both a t5 and t6 server and i use "g_password" on my t6 server with no issues, it works perfectly; however, on my t5 server this option isn't in the dedicated_sp file by default and it does not work if you put it there manually. so is there any way to password protect a t5 server the same way you can for a t6 server or does it not work? also, i tried limiting the max amount of players, as that would also serve the same purpose but it still allows others to join, even tho the server browser shows that there is a 1 player maximum, i used "sv_maxclients 4" for this by the way. i need a solution to this problem desperately.

G_password only works for T5 MP and max is 4 players on ZM. Only T6 ZM can go up to 8 players. Would need a serious dedicated Dev to add support for more then 4 players and I really doubt It'll ever happen. This is not an easy task and they do this for free in their spare time. You can try "party_maxplayers 1" and see if that will only allow one player to join.

RedxSkull i think you misinterpreted what i was asking for. i don't want more than 4 players, i want to limit my server to less than 4 players. for example, i want to do the call of the dead easter egg solo so when i play it with others and kill george he drops a wonderwaffe. in order to ensure i get it done solo i need to limit the server to 1 player so once i join no one else can. i can do this easily on T6 by putting "sv_maxclients 1" in the dedicated_zm.cfg but it doesn't work on T5.

Kam03 Try other dvars like "party_maxplayers 1" besides "sv_maxclients" you can add more into the config or make a custom script. Servers for ZM is not native to the game. They added that in and it's not perfect. Since on steam it's only P2P.

Kam03 By the way T6 zombies runs on the multiplayer engine. T5 does not. That should explain why "g_password" works out of the box for both MP and ZM on T6. Maybe plutonium in the future will have password working for T5 ZM.

g_password on T5 ZM will be sorted out in the next update.
